I have e_107 install on one of my websites and I have secured it about as good as I can with the help from their forums, but it lacks many free themes or plugins.

Of all the CMS' available, which is the most secure to use? I would assume Joomla is the most supported currently, but is it in the most secure?

I have used PHPNUke in the past, but it was rather insecure, or needed a billion patches to become secure. It was very easy to use however.

Any thoughts? I should add that I am using a Linux server, so ASP is out of the question currently.

Im assuming Joomla because since its pretty popular and actively developed, even if it's a bit less secure than something else they'll make sure it gets fixed/secured fast?

I've used many CMS over the past few years and personally I don't like some things about Joomla either, Something else you may want to look into is drupal ?

I've used Wordpress with good results. It's not a full CMS, but with a few plugins and some creativity it can be adapted for any purpose. Making themes for it couldn't be any easier. Also, look into Expression Engine. It's secure, but it's not completely free. Again, a strong password will double any CMS' security.

I would also recommend Drupal. The open source community involved in that project are very quick to respond to any security issues with patches, and the overall support for the core and extended modules is outstanding.

Drupal.org

I am finding that out right now.

Almost ridiculous actually.

Yes, installation is a bit more involved than Joomla or WordPress currently. But unless you're setting up a multi-site installation, it's not all that difficult.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.

      Promoting is fine - advertising, informing, whatever.  But interrupting your PAID OS experience is not.
